sn This verse repeats v. 22 but with specific reference to all the clans of Israel, i.e., to all Israel and Judah. It functions here as a transition to the next section which will deal with the restoration of Israel (31:3–20) and Judah (31:21–25) and their reunification in the land (31:27–29) under a new covenant relation with God (31:31–37). See also the study note on 30:3 for further reference to this reunification in Jeremiah and the other prophets.
